Maine's Bath Iron Works says three employees assigned to a location near the Washington Navy Yard where a shooting took place are accounted for and safe.

A dozen people were killed in the shooting on Monday.

The three employees are permanently assigned to Washington, D.C., near the home of the Naval Sea Systems Command. But spokesman Jim DeMartini says the workers' offices are outside the Navy Yard. DeMartini says the shipyard's security is aware of the situation in Washington but the shipyard declined to discuss specifics.

The Naval Sea Systems Command oversees contracts for Navy warships built at Bath, as well as submarine overhauls at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

A spokeswoman for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, said none of its personnel were affected. She declined to discuss security.
